Call (361) 326-5060

We’re Hollis Air Duct Cleaning, and our Palm Springs crews know the Coachella Valley’s particular problem: this is not the mold-and-pollen market you read about online. In Palm Springs, ducts silt up with wind-blown desert sand. After a seasonal dust storm or pre-monsoon haboob, we open returns and find sand piled like snowdrifts on blower motors and inside metal trunks. That grit does not stay put; it cycles back through your registers every time the HVAC calls.

Our dispatch and scheduling run from the Inland Empire office, with technicians serving Palm Springs neighborhoods directly. When you call (361) 326-5060, a live person answers. We arrive inside the quoted window, price the job in writing before touching anything, and leave the site clean. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to every Hollis job.

Why Hollis Air Duct Cleaning Is Palm Springs’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company

Palm Springs homeowners have seen the low-coupon vans come through town. The price jumps at the door. The crew disappears. We built Hollis on the opposite approach. In business since 2004 as part of the Garrison Partners family, we put every price in writing before work starts and back every job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails within a year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and accountable. They carry professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, and they know Palm Springs housing stock: the mid-century modern originals in Vista Las Palmas and the Movie Colony, the rigid metal ductwork from the 1940s through 1970s, the flat-roof access points, the retrofit jobs where previous crews crushed runs crossing joists. We do not treat your home like a generic tract house.

Phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No voicemail loops, no callback queues, no waiting until Monday for a scheduling question.

Vent Cleaning in Palm Springs

Dryer Vent Cleaning - Palm Springs and vent cleaning means removing the sand and fine dust that settles on supply and return registers after wind events, plus the buildup that extends into the boot and short duct run behind each vent. In older Palm Springs homes, we often find “dust dunes” at supply registers, especially in properties that have never had the original ductwork cleaned. A standard vent cleaning runs $45 – $85 per register when done as part of a full system service, or $150 – $300 for register-only cleaning in a small home.

Register and Boot Cleaning

We remove each register, clean the boot and first few feet of duct behind it, and inspect for disconnected joints or crushed runs. In Palm Springs’s mid-century homes, boots often separate from original metal trunks where decades of vibration and thermal cycling have loosened the connection.

Blower Motor and Air Handler Service

Cleaning only the vents while leaving the blower motor caked in sand is a common shortcut here. We pull and clean the blower assembly, because a sand-coated wheel re-contaminates the entire airstream on the next cycle. This step is included in our full system pricing, not sold as an add-on.

Air Duct Repair in Palm Springs

Air Duct Repair in Palm Springs addresses the crushed, disconnected, or poorly sealed ductwork we find in nearly every mid-century home we service. Original rigid metal ducts in neighborhoods like Vista Las Palmas and the Movie Colony were built for the heating-only systems of the 1950s and 1960s, then modified piecemeal as central air was retrofitted. We regularly find runs pinched at joist crossings, supply lines separated in crawlspaces, and joints that have never been sealed with modern mastic. Repair costs typically run $200 – $500 for minor reconnection and sealing, or $800 – $1,500 when multiple runs need replacement or extensive reconfiguration.

Camera Inspection and Damage Assessment

We run a video camera through the full system before quoting repairs. This shows you exactly where air is escaping into the attic or crawlspace, and it prevents the guesswork that leads to inflated invoices. You see what we see.

Reconnection and Sealing with Mastic

Disconnected runs get re-secured with proper supports, then sealed with Duct Sealing in Palm Springs using duct mastic rated for desert temperature swings. Tape alone fails in Palm Springs’s attic heat; we use materials that hold through 110°F summers and still flex in January nights.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Springs

Our Air Duct Cleaning team carries professional-grade equipment from Rotobrush, Nikro, and Abatement Technologies, plus filtration products from Honeywell, Aprilaire, and Guardsman. We stock common parts and materials locally through our Inland Empire supply chain, so Palm Springs customers do not wait for special orders when a repair is needed. Rotobrush rotary systems agitate sand-silted metal ductwork without damaging original materials. Nikro negative-air machines maintain HEPA-filtered containment during cleaning, critical in fine-grit desert environments where particles stay airborne longer. Honeywell and Aprilaire filtration upgrades are available for homeowners who want to extend clean intervals between service calls.

Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Palm Springs Homes

• Sand accumulation in original rigid metal ducts. The Coachella Valley’s seasonal wind events push fine grit through intake pathways and around filter edges. In Palm Springs’s mid-century homes, this sand layers inside metal trunks for decades, becoming compacted and moisture-resistant due to the extreme dryness.
• Disconnected supply runs dumping conditioned air into attics or crawlspaces. Retrofit crews working on flat-roof Palm Springs homes often crossed joists without proper clearances, pinching or separating ducts. The homeowner feels weak airflow at registers while the attic gets cooled.
• Blower motors caked with fine dust that recirculates immediately after “cleaning.” Competitors who only vacuum visible ducts leave the heart of the system dirty. We find this constantly in homes near Gene Autry Trail and Ramon Road after windstorms.
• Failed tape seals in attic heat. Duct tape adhesive degrades rapidly in Palm Springs’s 110°F+ attic temperatures. Joints that held for a season separate within a year, pulling unfiltered attic air into the supply stream.
